Conversion processes in anaerobic digestion
TLDR
In this article, six different conversion processes are identified in the degradation of particulate organic material (biopolymers) to methane, and the kinetic data are applied to the design of an anaerobic digester for raw domestic sludge.About:

Role of renewable energy sources in environmental protection: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, a review has been done on scope of CO2 mitigation through solar cooker, water heater, dryer, biofuel, improved cookstove and by hydrogen, which provides an excellent opportunity for mitigation of greenhouse gas emission and reducing global warming through substituting conventional energy sources.

Review paper on current technologies for decolourisation of textile wastewaters: Perspectives for anaerobic biotechnology
TL;DR: This paper provides a critical review on the current technologies available for decolourisation of textile wastewaters and it suggests effective and economically attractive alternatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methane production and methane consumption: a review of processes underlying wetland methane fluxes.
TL;DR: In this article, the potential rates of both methane production and consumption vary over three orders of magnitude and their distribution is skew, and these rates are weakly correlated with ecosystem type, incubation temperature, in situ aeration, latitude, depth and distance to oxic/anoxic interface.

Physiological Ecology of Methanogens
TL;DR: Biological methanogenesis plays a major role in the carbon cycle on Earth and is the terminal step in carbon flow in many anaerobic habitats, including marine and freshwater sediments, marshes and swamps, flooded soils, bogs, geothermal habitats, and animal gastrointestinal tracts as discussed by the authors.
